Europe-wide multimedia competition

What is the role and place of migrants in Europe? The Commission is inviting students at schools of art, graphics and communication from all the 27 European Union Member States and Croatia to reflect on the contribution migrants make to societies in Europe.

The EU-wide competition challenges students to produce artwork that expresses their views on the issue, capturing the role migrants play in our lives.With
the goal of stimulating a constructive debate, while reflecting on the
situation of migrants in Europe, the Commission gives Europe’s
up-and-coming talent the chance to bring their perspective to the fore.

The competition is open to all
students over 18 years of age and registered at an institution of higher
education for art/graphic/communication in any EU country plus Croatia.
The schools should submit their work before 21st June 2013 in the following categories: Poster, Photography and Video.

Each school can present one or
several pieces of work in one or several categories. They will be judged
at national level and those shortlisted (up to 10 per country) will be
put forward to a European jury that will select the 30 finalists and
decide on a European winner for each category. The
jury will be made up of communication, art and media professionals as
well as individuals from migrant communities.

The 30 European finalists will be
invited to attend the prize-giving ceremony in Brussels with the
expected participation of Cecilia Malmström, European Commissioner for
Home Affairs. A special prize will also be awarded based on the results of a public vote, which will take place via the website below.

The schools whose students win
first prizes in the three categories and the first prize in the public
vote will receive an award of €10,000 each, to be used for educational
purposes.
